Micah 4

Peaceful Latter Days

1And it will comeH1961 aboutH1961 in the 1lastH319 daysH3117 That the 2mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 Will be establishedH3559 3as the chiefH7218 of the mountainsH2022. It will be raisedH5375 aboveH4480 the hillsH1389, And the 4peoplesH5971 will streamH5102 to it.25ManyH7227 nationsH1471 will comeH1980 and sayH559, “6ComeH1980 and let’s goH5927 upH5927 to the mountainH2022 of the LordH3068 And to the houseH1004 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290, So that 7He may teachH3384 us aboutH4480 His waysH1870, And that we may walkH1980 in His pathsH734.” For 8from ZionH6726 will goH3318 forthH3318 the lawH8451, And the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 from JerusalemH3389.3And He will 9judgeH8199 betweenH996 manyH7227 peoplesH5971 And renderH3198 decisionsH3198 for mightyH6099, 10distantH7350 nationsH1471. Then they will beatH3807 their swordsH2719 11into plowsharesH855, And their spearsH2595 into pruningH4211 hooksH4211; NationH1471 will not liftH5375 a swordH2719 againstH413 nationH1471, And neverH3808 againH5750 will they 12trainH3925 for warH4421.4Instead, eachH376 of them will 13sitH3427 underH8478 his vineH1612 And underH8478 his figH8384 treeH8384, With 14noH369 oneH369 to makeH2729 them afraidH2729, BecauseH3588 the 15mouthH6310 of the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 has spokenH1696.5ThoughH3588 allH3605 the peoplesH5971 walkH1980, EachH376 in the 16nameH8034 of his godH430, As for us, 17we will walkH1980 In the nameH8034 of the 18LordH3068 our GodH430 foreverH5769 and everH5703.

6“On that dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “I will assembleH622 those who 19limpH6760 And 20gatherH6908 the scatteredH5080, Those whomH834 I have afflictedH7489.7I will makeH7760 those who limpH6760 a 21remnantH7611, And those who 22have strayedH1972 a mightyH6099 nationH1471, And the 23LordH3068 will reignH4427 overH5921 them on MountH2022 ZionH6726 From nowH6258 on and foreverH5704H5769.8As for you, 2425towerH4026 of the flockH5739, 26HillH6076 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, To you it will comeH857-- Yes, the 27formerH7223 dominionH4475 will comeH935, The kingdomH4467 of the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389.

9“NowH6258, whyH4100 do you 28cryH7321 outH7321 loudlyH7452? IsH369 thereH369 noH369 kingH4428 among you, OrH518 has your 29counselorH3289 perishedH6, That agonyH2427 has grippedH2388 you like a woman inH3205 childbirthH3205?1030WritheH2342 and screamH1518, DaughterH1323 of ZionH6726, Like a woman inH3205 childbirthH3205; For nowH6258 you will 31goH3318 outH3318 of the cityH7151, LiveH7931 in the fieldH7704, And goH935 to BabylonH894. 32ThereH8033 you will be rescuedH5337, 33ThereH8033 the LordH3068 will redeemH1350 you From the handH3709 of your enemiesH340.11And nowH6258 34manyH7227 nationsH1471 have been assembledH622 againstH5921 you Who sayH559, ‘Let her be defiledH2610, And let our eyesH5869 35gloatH2372 over ZionH6726!’12But they do not 36knowH3045 the thoughtsH4284 of the LordH3068, And they do not understandH995 His planH6098; For He has gatheredH6908 them like sheavesH5995 to the threshingH1637 floorH1637.13AriseH6965 and 37threshH1758, daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, For I will makeH7760 your hornH7161 ironH1270, And I will makeH7760 your hoofsH6541 bronzeH5154, So that you may 38pulverizeH1854 manyH7227 peoplesH5971, And 39dedicateH2763 to the LordH3068 their unjustH1215 profitH1215, And their wealthH2428 to the LordH136 of allH3605 the earthH776.
